Chapter 167 Starting Over
Chapter 167 Starting Over
Professor Xie was completely enraged by her at this moment, and he refused to back down, arguing until he was red in the face and his neck was thick with anger.
"If you want to withdraw, then withdraw. It's just a global exhibition, I don't care. I'm already this old, do you think I'm afraid of being threatened by a little woman like you? What a joke!"
I originally thought that Professor Xie, as an elder, might be able to persuade Song Yafei to get a divorce.
But I didn't expect them to drag the global exhibition into it. Song Yafei always uses threats to intimidate others.
If things continue to escalate to this point, the global exhibition may really be ruined.
I quickly pushed the wheelchair out and said, "Professor, the global exhibition is something she owes me. It's all rightfully mine. Do whatever you want with it."
Song Yafei was very surprised by my appearance and seemed a little flustered, probably because she felt guilty.
She did not refute what I said.
I didn't greet her; I just stared at the professor, not looking at her at all, as if she didn't exist in my eyes.
"Professor, I'm not very good at maneuvering a wheelchair yet. Could you push me back?"
Professor Xie glared at Song Yafei, but without refusing, he came over and helped push my wheelchair toward the ward.
The professor brought up the topic of investment on the way.
“Zhang Tian, the global exhibition is my business. With my influence, attracting investment is only a matter of time.”
“You don’t need to wrong yourself for these things. If you want to divorce Song Yafei, I can help you.”
I know, but this was something I negotiated with her and we had already agreed on.
"You can focus on holding global exhibitions and fulfilling your wishes, which is also what I, as your apprentice, want to see."
"Moreover, your global exhibition is of great significance, and the average person may not be able to understand its significance, so attracting investment is not so easy."
Professor Xie fell silent.
He had to admit that what I said was true.
However, the professor kept telling me, "You are more important than the global exhibition."
“There are ways to develop a global exhibition, it’s just a matter of time, but your matter is the most important. Think carefully about divorcing Song Yafei.”
I was deeply moved to be so cared for by the professor.
Before I even reached the ward, Professor Xie received an urgent phone call, but he still insisted on taking me to the ward before going back.
I declined, saying, "Teacher, please go ahead and do what you need to do. I want to get some fresh air."
Only then did Professor Xie agree to leave.
Halfway there, at a bend, I couldn't get the hang of it and got stuck.
Finally, I turned the corner as I wished, thanks to someone giving me a push from behind.
"Thanks……"
I turned my head, smiling as I wanted to express my gratitude, but I didn't expect to see Song Yafei. My words of thanks came to an abrupt halt, and my smile froze on my lips.
I held onto the wheelchair. "I don't need you. I can manage on my own."
Song Yafei remained as stubborn as ever, pushing my hand away, "Stop messing around, I can't hurt your hand again."
I couldn't fight off her two hands with one, so I let her push me around halfway through the park.
Throughout the journey, I remained silent and indifferent to all her words.
Finally, she lost her patience and pushed me back to the ward.
When we got to the bedside, she wanted to help me get into bed, but I refused her touch.
I never imagined that the person I once loved so dearly would now disgust me even with her touch.
Song Yafei stood helplessly by the bed, watching me struggle to move my body back onto the bed.
Just those two simple steps sent chills down my spine. I leaned against the bed and chased her away.
"Thank you for bringing me back. You can go now."
Song Yafei looked hurt. "Do you hate me that much? Do you really have to leave me? Let's start over, okay?"
Starting over?
It's easier said than done!
I sighed. There were some things I didn't want to mention.
Do you know what made me so determined to give you up?
Song Yafei looked at me with pain in her eyes, not understanding what was going on.
Thinking back to the scene of the car accident, I can't help but feel heartbroken. What truly made me choose to give up on Song Yafei was not just the car accident, but also Song Yafei herself that day.
Thinking back to that scene still makes my heart ache.
Even though I've decided to give up, I have to admit that I haven't completely let go.
"That day, when everyone rushed towards me, trying to save me, I saw it."
I forced myself to take a deep breath before I could continue.
“I saw you holding Yu Chengliang tightly. Even in such a critical moment, Yu Chengliang was the only person you cared about.”
Song Yafei shook her head hurriedly, muttering, "It's not like that, it's not."
"I am truly willing to let you and Yu Chengliang be together. Your persistent pursuit is only because you are unwilling to accept the situation."
Song Yafei half-squatted by the bed and grabbed my hand. "It's not like that. Let me explain."
"Okay, you say."
When someone truly decides to give up, explanations and anything else are just answers. Their heart is dead, so what does the outcome matter?
I can now calmly accept everything.
Song Yafei anxiously explained, "That day he pounced on me, and I couldn't dodge in time, so I was trapped by him. I wanted to find you."
So what?
Nothing can be changed!
"Zhang Tian, let's make things right and start over, okay?"
"No!" I refused with great determination. "You may not know, but I feel extremely disgusted and physically averse to your touch right now."
It's not subjective, but psychological, and irresistible.
Song Yafei was hurt by what she heard. She grabbed my hand, then involuntarily let go, wanting to touch me but not daring to.
"But I can't live without you. When you agreed to marry me that year, I decided to take another gamble. Maybe you had no choice but to break up with me back then."
"Seeing you personally decorating the new house with a happy smile on your face, I think maybe you still have feelings for me."
"Gradually, I always wanted to do something to prove that you loved me. Until I met other women, I found that you would get angry and jealous, which made me more certain that you cared about me."
Yes, I was heartbroken every time a different man appeared in her life.
"Over time, I became like an addict, needing to constantly stimulate you to prove that you care about me."
“Song Yafei, you’re the one who actually has a mental illness.” I blurted out involuntarily.
Song Yafei gave a bitter smile, her face showing embarrassment.
"Yes, I am indeed sick."
“But I’m changing, Zhang Tian. Wait for me a little longer. I won’t hurt you anymore. My relationship with those people has always been fake; there’s never been any real affection between us.”
Her expression was very sincere.
She had said this many times, but only now do I truly believe that perhaps there really is nothing between her and those people.
But that's where the problem lies: we simply can't trust each other and need to find other ways to prove each other's love.
Does this kind of love need to continue?
